OMG...I know what's going on....in my own life I have experience this....I just forgot becasue it was such a nightmare time for our family....In the year 2000, Life and Trauma in the ER decended on husband's place of work. It was a big deal, they were there I think weeks and did home interviews etc.

BUT looking back on it over the years, all other times he has been interviewed by news, the news media have all been local. Granted there have been no mass casualties while he was on duty, but there have been some incidents....

so CNN uses all local news "pools" as you call them to gather news.

You know in 20 years CNN has not set foot in this level one inner city trauma center.....why would that be? Because they are fed news, they do not report it.
